SpaceX is making its satellite internet service more accessible than ever, cutting the price of its compact Starlink Mini Kit in Canada and the United States to a record low.
According to an update to the Starlink website, the hardware now sells for $279 in Canada and $199 in the U.S., down 30% and 20% from regular pricing in each respective country.
This is of course just for the required hardware, and a monthly plan is still required. Starlink’s Roam service plans now start at C$70/US$50 per month for 100GB of data, roughly equivalent pricing when taking the exchange rate into account. However, the unlimited option is actually a better deal in Canada, where it is priced at C$189, while in the U.S. it is priced at US$165 per month, or C$228 at a straight exchange.
Together, the lower upfront cost and more flexible data tiers make the Mini Kit a far more compelling option for users who want reliable connectivity without committing to a fixed residential setup.
These new cuts build on a broader pattern of aggressive promotions from SpaceX over the past year. Starlink has repeatedly experimented with limited-time hardware discounts, free trial periods, and reduced pricing to increase adoption in competitive or price-sensitive markets. In some areas, the company has also offered temporary service credits or bundled deals aimed at encouraging hesitant customers to try satellite internet for the first time.
The strategy appears to be working. According to the most recent update from the company in December 2025, there are now more than 9 million active subscribers around the world. While that number is impressive by itself, it becomes even more so when considering there were 8 million subscribers in October 2025, meaning around 21,000 new customers are signing up every day.
